Multidisciplinary research at the Chemistry: Biology interface has expanded so rapidly in the past few decades that such training is now crucial for the development of the next generation of chemists and biologists. The objective of the proposed training program is to train predoctoral graduate students in the Chemistry and Biochemistry/Biophysics departments at Texas A7883892 University in research at the Chemistry: Biology Interface (CBI). Since its inception in 1994, this NIH-sponsored program has played a major role in the successful training of our graduate students in the molecular life sciences. The program currently involves 21 faculty members, with highly diverse research interests including molecular enzymology, macromolecular interactions, organic and inorganic synthesis, bioanalysis, metabolism, structure/function relationships, and computational mechanistic studies. Students in the CBI program choose one of these trainers as their primary research advisor, and enroll in a core group of required courses. CBI students enroll in a weekly journal club in which research topics from these areas are discussed. They also enroll in a class on the Ethical conduct of research. The CBI program sponsors 2 symposia annually in which trainees present their research results. Well-known external speakers are also invited as part of the training program. Towards the end of this 2-year program, students apply to attend a summer workshop course at an external location in which classroom and laboratory instruction are combined in an intense scientific setting. Students are also encouraged to attend a scientific conference annually.

化学：生物学界面的多学科研究 在过去几十年中发展如此之快，以至于此类培训现在对于发展至关重要 下一代化学家和生物学家。拟议培训计划的目标是 培养化学和生物化学/生物物理学系的博士前研究生 德克萨斯大学 A7883892 从事化学研究：生物界面 (CBI)。自1994年成立以来， 这个由 NIH 赞助的项目在我们研究生的成功培训中发挥了重要作用 在分子生命科学领域。该项目目前有 21 名教职人员，具有高度多元化 研究兴趣包括分子酶学、大分子相互作用、有机和无机 合成、生物分析、代谢、结构/功能关系和计算机制 研究。 CBI 项目的学生选择其中一位培训师作为他们的主要研究顾问， 并报名参加一组核心必修课程。 CBI 学生参加每周日记俱乐部，其中 讨论了这些领域的研究主题。他们还参加了有关道德行为的课程 研究。 CBI 项目每年赞助 2 次研讨会，学员在会上展示他们的研究成果 结果。作为培训计划的一部分，还邀请了知名的外部演讲者。迈向 两年课程结束后，学生申请参加外部地点的夏季研讨会课程 其中课堂教学和实验室教学在严格的科学环境中相结合。学生们是 还鼓励每年参加一次科学会议。
